Brick Wall Constructions of Old Houses in Ottawa

A cavity wall of concealed bonding bricks used in a house constructed in the late 1800's in Eastview, Ontario, was described in Building Note 41. A different type of cavity wall was found to have been used in a house constructed in Ottawa in 1873, and an unusual brick veneer wall was used in another house built about the same time. The purpose of this Note is to record a description of these buildings, which are considered to be interesting examples of early methods of house construction in the Ottawa area.La note de recherches en b\ue2timent 41 d\ue9crit un mur creux construit de briques liaisonn\ue9es, trouv\ue9 dans une maison construite \ue0 la fin du 19e si\ue8cle \ue0 Eastview, Ontario.
